Remember these words: He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” Mark 16:15
One Command in different languages for ALL nations • In Spanish • Y les dijo: Id por todo el mundo y predicad el evangelio a toda criatura. • In Chinese • 他又对他们说:你们往普天下去,传福音给万民(万民:原文是凡受造的)听。 • In French • Puis il leur dit: Allez par tout le monde, et prêchez la bonne nouvelle à toute la création. • In Arabic • : وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اذْهَبُوا إِلَى الْعَالَمِ أَجْمَعَ، وَبَشِّرُوا الْخَلِيقَةَ كُلَّهَا بِالإِنْجِيلِ
A Command : GO ! • Go = Make a movement • Go = Move forward • Go = Arise and walk • Go # Stay
Why ? • A mission from the Master for all followers "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men.” Mat.4 : 19 • Many non-believers out there Jesus said: “I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” John 10: 16
WHERE ? • In ALL nations • In Jacqueville
JACQUEVILLE – IVORY COAST ( West Africa ) • Southern coast , 60 km from Abidjan • Around 53 000 inhabitants, according to the General Population and Housing Census in 1998, including 27 000 men and 26 000 women at a density of 78 people per square kilometer. • As of 2007, the department has 61 000 inhabitants • More than 40 villages ( communities) • 3 main ethnic groups : Alladjan, Ahizi, Akouri or Avikam
Spiritual chart • 1/3 of the whole population has been worshipping a False prophet since 1950s. • Worship continues despite the death of that man in 2002 • Traditional practices ( witchcraft or sorcellery) • Syncretism ( Blending of religion with ancestral beliefs) • Idol worship ( ponds, woods, fetish…) • Many churches ( Methodist, Catholics, Assemblies of God, Revival, Pentecost…) BUT Only • 1% of born-again Christian in 1998
This manpretended to be a God- sent prophet: He has deceived the population for 65 years. He died in 2002. People still worshiphim
His temple serves as a place of pilgrimage for his followers .
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Rom.10: 14,15
